Note: The TR4215 board exhibits some natural internal resonance around 8 MHz which does not need to be
tuned out. Because the signal is internal and the fact the Analog View is now multiplied by two (2), the
typical tuning curve looks like the above.
Evaluate Jumper Positions
System Specific Procedures
These procedures are specific to the particular model system being installed. Ensure the correct
procedure(s) are followed (i.e. run the correct test for either the 1 meter or 2 meter system).
For 2 Meter System
With the jumpers in the default position (OUT), assess detection height. If the detection
performance is ideal (i.e., alarm occurs at heights meeting or exceeding specifications listed), there
is no need to test the other jumper positions. If performance is less than ideal, insert the red
jumpers in positions J5 and J6. Repeat testing (flat carry). The detection test should be performed
using a 410EP tag (Super Hard Gen2 and Mini Hard tags are also acceptable). Test the maximum
detection at middle point (flat carry) by walking across the antenna at various heights and listening
to the alarm.
Note: During the detection performance test, the antenna should be disconnected from the DMS tool, as
computer connection can sometimes degrade the performance.
Next, compare measured to detection performance (alarm success rate at a given height) with the
jumpers in positions J7 and J9. Finally, test performance with jumpers in positions J8 and J10.
Leave jumpers in position for maximum detection.
After finalizing the jumper settings, connect DMS tool and check the Analog C view. Make sure
there is no excessive resonance (no more than 10 in the C view). If the resonance level is high,
then increase the Sample Hold Off up to 22 until the resonance level is reduced to less than 10.
For single 1 Meter or 2 x 1 Meter System
With the jumpers in the default position (J5 and J6 are both IN), assess detection height. If the
detection performance is ideal (i.e., alarm occurs at heights meeting or exceeding specifications
listed), there is no need to test the other jumper positions. If performance is less than ideal, move
the jumper positions from J5 and J6 to J7 and J9. Repeat testing (flat carry). The detection test
should be performed using a 410EP tag (Super Hard Gen2 and Mini Hard tags are also acceptable).
Test the detection at middle point by walking across the antenna at various heights and listening to
the alarm.
Note: During the detection performance test, the antenna should be disconnected from the DMS tool, as
computer connection can sometimes degrade the performance.
Next, move the jumpers to positions J8 and J10 and repeat the performance test. Leave jumpers in
position for maximum detection.
After finalizing the jumper settings, connect DMS tool and check the Analog C view. Make sure
there is no excessive resonance (no more than 10 in the C view). If the resonance level is high,
then increase the Sample Hold Off up to 22 until the resonance level is reduced to less than 10.
